Adam Reid at The French

At the iconic Midland Hotel in Manchester, The French by Adam Reid offers a refined yet welcoming take on modern British dining. Chef-Patron Adam Reid has built a reputation for creating thoughtful, flavour-led dishes that draw on his Northern roots and personal memories.

The restaurant blends historic elegance with a contemporary feel, setting the stage for a dining experience that is polished without being overly formal. Reid's tasting menu showcases seasonal ingredients and reimagined British classics, presented with creativity and prevision.

Rather than chasing trends, Adam Reid focuses on honest cooking with depth and character - resulting in dishes that feel both familiar and elevated. The menu is named the 'Signature' and consists of 10 servings. Offering little more than letting you know what the main element of the dish will be, the chefs then finish and describe each dish tableside.

Confident, understated, and distinctly personal, The French remains one of Manchester's standout luxury dining destinations.
